The Four Seasons Summer

By Janaïna Milheiro

Four poems in bottles

The Summer bottle, part of a collection "the Four Seasons" resulting from an exceptional collaboration between Guerlain and textile artist and designer Janaïna Milheiro, has a honey-coloured goose feather trim evoking the rays of the sun. The pheasant or goose feathers are trimmed one by one to fit her drawn-out motifs and linked together by the same thread in order to create a “mesh” covering the shapes of the bottle. This unique decorative trim adorns the emblematic, limited edition “Quadrilobé” bottle in Baccarat crystal, each one numbered.

Fragrance

A sun-kissed fragrance, bathed in the sparkling light of lemon and bergamot. The sensual, fruity, well-rounded middle note is softened by juicy peach and the heady scent of jasmine. Finally, a gold-tinged base note of sun-warmed hay and vanilla with a hint of spices sets this sensual fragrance aglow.

Perfumer secrets

Janaïna Milheiro is a Brazilian-born artist and designer based in Paris who creates light, delicate pieces that transform feathers into true works of art. To make the ethereal trimmings for the “Four Seasons” collection, the artist created four different designs, each requiring more than fifteen hours of extremely delicate, intricate work. A delicate golden satin ribbon tied around the neck of the bottle by the Guerlain “Dames de Table” adds the final touch of refinement to this exceptional piece.
